Nigerians React As Abike Dabiri-Erewa Claims Tweet On Abducted Boys Was A ‘Hacker Tweet’, Deletes It

Abike Dabiri-Erewa,





The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has deleted a tweet in her Twitter handle which claimed 333 abducted students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State, have been reportedly rescued.

BIGPENNGR.COM understands the Twitter post which misled several conventional and online newspapers into reporting the alleged rescue, was taken down by her some few minutes after a video surfaced online of the students crying for help from President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to the six minutes 30 seconds video, which was reportedly released by their abductors, the boys said some of them have been killed and pleaded with the government to respond to the demands of the terrorists, including paying ransom so they could be set free.

Before the video became public knowledge, Abike Dabiri-Erewa was believed to have tweeted to celebrate the alleged rescued of the boys in her official Twitter page.

Her tweet read: “Yaay, the 333 boys captured in katsina have been rescued. Alhamdulillahi. Buhari administration has brought back our boys. BringBackOurBoys. Our boys are back.”

However, following the backlashes that followed the tweet made from an Iphone with location reading, Abuja, and the new video released of the boys still being held hostage in place that look like a thick forest, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, later deleted the tweet, explaining that it was a ‘hacker tweet’ after she lost control of her Twitter handle password.

She, however, posted another tweet on the handle from an Iphone in Abuja, saying the Twitter account was hacked and hijacked from her control some minute ago apparently the period the misleading tweet was made.

“Pls don’t credit any post on katsina boys to my twitter handle. I lost control of my handle in the last couple of minutes, along with my Instagram. I have recovered and changed my password”, she tweeted after ‘recovery’ the account.

But her new tweet is currently generating mixed effects from some Nigerians who believe the hacked Twitter claims, was an ‘after-thought’.
